Restoration of the World Cultural Heritage Hildesheim Cathedral

The Hildesheim cathedral belongs to the Unesco World Cultural Heritage. It was completely destroyed shortly before World War II ended. 50 years after the reconstruction the planned restoration is much-needed. For that reason the cathedral has been closed on 10 January 2010.
